Quote:

Saku Ooyagi returns to his old town after seven years and becomes reacquainted with a childhood friend, the ever-boisterous Mihoshi Akeno; but the reunion is far from merry since his last piece of memory between them is of her falling off a tree and him diving to save her. Regardless, Mihoshi focuses her all into improving their tattered relationship and forces Saku to join her astronomy club.

Wow this sound like the same old (always badly and pointless) overused school childhood romance, but I just can't ignore anything that came from Afternoon, especially recent materials (older series like OMGodness seems really out of place nowadays).

The source material has next to no fanservice (what I've read of it), and I doubt it'd do anything worse than a beach/hot springs episode. And "shoujo", "seinen" whatnot, just a demographic, not a genre. And as a genre, it is what you think it is - a sweet, heartwarming romantic comedy.

I'm here for Hayami Saori and astronomy. But Koshimizu Ami, Itou Kanae, and Tomatsu Haruka will be cool, too. The bit of the manga I've read, and the promo, both look promising. Mi-chan is always on the edge of going too far, but so far not quite.

Somehow this anime is endorsed by some professional astronomy organizations and publications in Japan. There is even an interview with the mangaka in a recent issue of 星ナビ. Hopefully the studio will do adequate research in depicting nightskys and astronomical instruments.

Anyway the telescope setup in the poster would probably look weird to anyone who has the slightest degree of stargazing experience.
